Oil Creek 5 & 13 Stacked Trail Races

Join us at beautiful Drake Well Museum and Park on Saturday morning, May 16, 2026, for these unique trail races which utilize the Gerard Hiking Trail as well as other trails in nearby Oil Creek State Park. The 5-mile race begins at 7:00 AM at the Jersey Bridge, just outside of Drake Well Museum and Park and ends within the main parking area of the Museum. The 13-mile race begins at 8:30 AM in the same parking area and will end there, too. Race times are staged 90 minutes apart, making it possible for participants to run both for a “stacked challenge!” There will be finisher awards for each race distance as well as for those runners who are able to complete both races for the quickest “stacked” finish time.

All proceeds from the event benefit Friends of Drake Well, Inc., the non-profit organization which partners with the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission in the administration of Drake Well Museum and Park.
